Maniwaki Canuck Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The biggest whipping boy I have seen was probably michel petit and Ron Sedlbauer. Then I would argue Jim Sandlak and then Gerald Didiuk . Then I would argue it was Dan Cloutier , then Kevin Bieksa could never live anything down. Then Keith Ballard and sometimes Mason Raymond. Todays canucks its probably Zack Kassian and Alex Edler. Yeah, I remember Sedlbauer too: everyone was on his case, then he scored 40+ goals one season and they were on his case for not doing it again. Some players just can't doing anything right, even when they do something right for this franchise. There is something about a subset of fans who think they are Donald Trump or something and act like a bad boss towards the players. Probably they have bad bosses themselves and deal with it this way, but it isn't cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 There have been no shortage of whipping boys going all the way back to the aforementioned Dale Tallon and Dennis Kearns. Wayne Maki was disparaged here for his past history even before the Canucks ever played their first-ever NHL game. But as LaBamba says, the internet takes it all to a whole new level. Horizontal Raymond and Hunter Booth were the most disdained of more-recent victims. Edler is pretty close, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat James Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 You should make a poll... It's got to be Raymond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Based on the amount of trade proposals, I'd have to say: - Raymond, Ballard, and a 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menace Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Aaron Rome...... the man that poked the bear and woke up the Bruins. AR never threw hits like that in the regular season and never threw one like that again. That was the TSN turning point of the SC final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 People called Pyatt a pylon for the longest time. Sedin sisters - cute, but no. Yeah, Raymond....never got that one either. Sami and the whole man of glass thing - ridiculous. What they don't consider is that these players considered "soft" are actually tough for having the tools to get back out there despite injury. Bieksa - people are ridiculous and jump on/off the wagon with him. Called for his head years ago, now back at it. Go away. You, not him. Lu, because teams are supposedly composed of one man. Burr's becoming one. I will take you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragoedia Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Based on the amount of trade proposals, I'd have to say: - Raymond, Ballard, and a 1st I always felt bad for 1st. Everyone always seems keen on trading him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roland Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Raymond by an enormous margin. Edler is probably second Honorable mentions: Garrison - Gives opponents space and lets them shoot. Stopped taking shots from the point because he would injure someone if he did (my opinion) Ruutu - always took a penalty while on the PK, grrrr. Sopel - Numorous times I would sit down in class and other kids would show up blaming Sopel for the loss Pyatt - Pylon, nuff said Bernier - was never really good enough Luongo* - how many losses did people put full blame on him? Gillis( does he count?) - good at cheap pickups, terrible at everything else Messier - Messier Bieksa* - Many people out there constantly jump on and off the Bieksa bandwagon *I personally like these players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoted Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The Cloutier beachball gifs were pretty brutal - again, as others have said, an artifact of more coverage and the Internet in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 So THAT'S where the term "fall guy" comes from... it ALL makes sense now! Also, when $2 M Burr became $4.5 M Burr and then slumping Burr, people wanted to rid him for a bag of pucks! And my favorite, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Has anyone gained momentum as fast as Sbisa? "Spot Sbisa's mistakes" is the new past time. Maybe Weinich and Carney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Torts. A lot of players have been given passes "because Torts". Some guys just simply sucked last year.. Quickly we forget how many were playing early on, and the glaring roster holes we had.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
